THE STABLES at Palmer Gulch delivers consistently excellent horseback riding experiences through beautiful Black Hills scenery. Families particularly rave about how welcoming the guides are with children, with kids as young as seven getting their own horses and having a blast. The horses themselves get glowing mentions for being gentle, well-trained, and clearly well cared for. Several reviewers mentioned this was the highlight of their entire Black Hills vacation, with some families even booking a second ride during the same trip. The guides earn special praise for being knowledgeable, friendly, and giving helpful instructions before heading out. Staff handle any unexpected situations professionally and calmly. Riders appreciate the stunning views along the trails and the sense of stepping back into the 1800s. Yes, it's pricey, but most visitors feel the experience justifies the cost. Just note there's a strict 230-pound weight limit for riders. Many guests say they'll make this a must-do stop on future visits, and multiple families declared it their kids' favorite activity of the week.
Our Three girls aged 7, 8, and 9 loved their trail ride. This is one Black Hills attraction that you can come early too, because the kids love to pet the horses in their stalls before the ride. The horses were gentle and easy to ride. Remember the strict maximum weight allowed for a rider is 230 pounds. We spent a busy week in the Black Hills and this was declared the best by the girls
